What if all the tests pass?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

If the tests pass, then everything is fine... Unless we expected the tests not to pass...then it's time to burn the codebase down and try again after a long vacation to clear our heads.

Of course, I'll usually settle for fixing the test suite after a long weekend. But in my heart, I'll know what I should have done...

...or you can just delete the failing tests :)

Delete all the tests!

If the tests don't give any insight into the functionality it is testing, they are probably not the best tests.

My tests always pass! They've never failed, that's how good a programmer I am!

You deleted the failing test, didn’t you

Test can never fail if it never makes any real assertions!
